Legal Center for Rights and Development, LCRD, on Monday issued a new statistics during the last 1300 days as an initial result of the crimes committed by the US-Saudi-UAE aggression on Yemen, more than 15,185 civilians were killed, including 3527 children and 2277 women.

LCRD reported that at least 23,822 civilians were injured, including 3,526 children and 2,587 women, who are still suffering from a lack of medicines, medical supplies and qualified treatment due to the imposed siege in light of the shameful silence of children's organizations and human rights.

The Legal Center also estimates the death of at least 160,000 Yemeni children, patients, the wounded and those suffering from chronic diseases with silent death due to the siege imposed on Yemen, which resulted in the lack of basic necessities, medicines and medical services.

The LCRD adds that nearly 2,200 Yemenis died of cholera, which has swept the country since the beginning of this year, according to the World Health Reports and UNICEF.

During the 1300 days, the US-Saudi-UAE aggression destroyed the infrastructure by continuous bombardment, it directly targeted 15 airports and 14 ports, as well as damaged 2559 roads and bridges, 781 tanks and water pumps, (191) electrical generators and stations, and (426) telecommunications networks, making the most vital installations in Yemen outside the service to reflect disastrous on the lives of all Yemenis.

In the social sector, more than (421,911) houses were destroyed, more than 4 million were displaced, (930) mosques, (888) institutes and schools were destroyed,(4500) schools were halted, (38) media establishments and (327) hospitals and health facilities were bombed.

The Legal Center notes that these figures do not reflect the final outcome of the martyrs, the wounded, the deceased, the civilian and service facilities, and the destroyed or damaged products. To verify these figures, the Center calls for the formation of an international commission of inquiry to assess the scale of the disaster.

The Legal Center reiterated to the United Nations to take into account its responsibility to abide by the protection of human rights and the rules of international humanitarian law in Yemen, the most important of which is to protect civilians and the population.

The LCRD also holds the Human Rights Council team on Yemen responsible to carry out a serious investigation into the crimes committed against civilians in Yemen in a professional and impartial manner.
